The author gives a survey over the development of homological algebra, organized in five chapters as follows: 1. Betti numbers, torsion coefficients and the rise of homology. 2. Homology and cohomology of algebraic systems: Ext and Tor, homology and cohomology of groups and Lie algebras, cohomology of associative algebras, sheaf cohomology and spectral sequences. 3. The Cartan-Eilenberg revolution: projective and injective resolutions of modules, derived functors, Abelian categories, algebraic \(K\)-theory. 4. After the Cartan-Eilenberg revolution: regular local rings, Grothendieck's theory of sheaf cohomology, cohomology theories in algebraic geometry. 5. Simplicial methods: homotopical algebra, non-Abelian derived functors, André-Quillen cohomology for commutative rings, higher algebraic \(K\)-theory, Hochschild and cyclic homology.
